^^^ You know you guys have to quit playing on my FTC addiction. I sat here firmly complaining about the repurposing of some of these figures. And the more I look at these figures and hear this anticipation for them, it's feeding my addiction. I would like to stand up now and raise my hand, " Hi my name is Tom. And I am a FTC-oholic." Jesus. I'm going to end up ordering this line.
FTC could have at least put black shadows on the 2 Batman cowls like Batgirl's cowl and whited out Batman's pupils like Robin's! And why ovenmitts when JLA has painted hands?
Batman Series 4 NEW Batman better have all this for the Neal Adams/Jim Aparo look! Longer bat ears and cape, too! Brooding face!

Yes, I agree all-round. I honestly cursed when I saw the oven mitts again and the same head sculpts. But I can't say I love a lot of the new, oversized heads either. These guys need better research. Study the mego sculpt style and then do new heads that are comparable. Part of their approval process should be to compare the new heads to a set of the originals to make sure it's not "one of these things is not like the others" (to misquote Sesame St.) Rant!

I hope they wait on the Wonder Woman first appearance until after the WW wave 1 is out. I'd rather they re-purpose a new head instead of rolling her out with the baby doll head.

^^^ This. x1000s This! I have issue with the Head Size (Heads way too big) & the Detail & Paint apps (NOT Mego-ey enough for me) on every single New FTC WGH DC figure! I was hoping for New DC WGH done like Mego would have done them! Yes Thor, GA, Mr. Fantastic & Invisible Girl had newer more detailed sculpts that I LOVE, but the new FTC Bizarro, Comm. Gordon, Alfred, & the Ras Al Ghul & Scarecrow protos have all been major FAILS, as far as being MEGO-like enough for me. I wish the WGH New characters looked less FTC Batman 66 (which I like as a seperate line) detail/paint wise, & more MEGO-ey!
This concludes my daily FTC Rant! ......But, still am eagerly waiting New figures that blend in better. Can't wait (but also very nervous) to see Green Lantern, Hawkman, Flash, Plastic Man, & Poison Ivy (among many others)!

Rant away Invisi ! I just got the FTC DR. Sivana so I could rip his ping pong ball sized head off and stomp on it. Thank the PVC gods for Doc Mego replacement heads!
